Work by Tim Hyde is included in Home, an online exhibition from Fraction Magazine, curated by Susan Spiritus.
From the curator's statement:
Home - Where is yours?
I have read and re-read all of the Fraction Magazine publications that have been published over the years in search for images that serve to illustrate my theme for this online exhibition about ‘Home’. Home, the word….what is a home? What thoughts do we conjure up when we think of ‘home’...
The breadth of the subject ‘home’ is endless. It could be a book, but for an online exhibition I have pulled together 39 photographs, which addressed this subject, and I am grateful to the photographers who have traveled the world to expose these places and to David Bram for finding their work and bringing it to our attention in the issues of Fraction Magazine.
You can read the entire statement and view the exhibition here.

It’s not every day that one gets to announce an upcoming solo exhibition in New York City, but MEG member Michael Borek is doing just that!
The exhibit, What Would Sudek Do?, will be held at the BBLA Gallery in the Bohemian National Hall. It runs from July 7 through August 3, with an opening on July 9 at 7 pm.
When I was a teenager growing up in Prague, I used to see a one-armed man in a shabby coat schlepping a tripod and a large-view camera. A friend told me that it was Josef Sudek, a famous Czech photographer. I—a young and fledgling photographer—bought a book of his pictures and immediately fell in love. I was smitten with the photographs Sudek had taken through the windows of his studio. They were simple and beautiful. I wished I was able to take such pictures. Sudek had an unmatched ability to notice sublime details, to include what is important, and to eliminate what is not. He created his own world in which the surroundings are only supporting actors. Now, many photographers imitate his style. Even though I borrowed his name for the title of this exhibition, and as a Czech photographer I may have a little of Sudek in my DNA, I hope that I am not one of them. Rather, in this exhibition, I attempt to inspire viewers to reflect on the beauty that can be found in the places they see every day and no longer even notice. Or, to borrow from Thoreau, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” So whenever I end up in seemingly uninspiring places that feel visually dull, I think of the old maestro’s dilapidated studio, open my eyes a bit wider, and ask myself: What Would Sudek Do?

"You don’t know why you find yourself standing in front of the picture…but there is something special about it."
Jim Magner of the Hill Rag features Colleen Henderson in his Artist Profile this week. Read the article here.
Multiple Exposures Gallery presents two new exhibits: American Made: Classic American Scenes by Colleen Henderson and Acadia: 4 Years of Photographs by Susan Meyers.
Colleen Henderson
Colleen presents photographs made during her ongoing exploration of rural back roads and nostalgic American scenes. Although the images have all been made within the last few years, they are distinctly reminiscent of an America you could have witnessed in the middle of the last century: successful, hardworking homesteads, an abundance of rich resources, and vast, dramatic vistas.
Susan Meyers
Susan presents photographs taken during her many visits to the Maine coast, predominantly the area in and near Acadia National Park. She first started visiting the area in the late 1970s and has continued to return every few years. The exhibit takes a broad view of what the repeat visitor finds when she continues to look. Over the years her photographs have turned from the crashing waves on the iconic Maine coast to some of the quieter more intimate places.
The exhibits will be on display through May 3, 2015. You are invited to attend a reception for the artists at the gallery on Sunday, March 29.
